Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Black Chest Edition

This is the pirate's treasure chest, and we mean that literally. The Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Black Chest Edition on Playstation 4 is the most ambitious collector's package Ubisoft assembled for their high-seas adventure, and the sheer volume of quality items in this box is staggering.

The 55cm diorama of Captain Edward Kenway leading the charge from the bow of the Jackdaw is the kind of centerpiece that commands an entire shelf. This isn't a static pose on a generic base. It's a full scene, wind in the sails, sword drawn, capturing the exact moment that made Black Flag the best pirate game ever made. The steelbook, artbook, official soundtrack, world map, and two lithographs in a protective envelope would each be highlight items in lesser editions. Here, they're supporting cast.

Then there's the Jackdaw's Black Flag, embroidered with the Assassin's Crest. An actual flag. For your wall. The two canvas prints add even more display options for anyone turning a room into a pirate-themed collector's den.

Three additional solo missions expand the campaign with stories involving Captain Morgan's sunken ship and legendary sailing equipment, giving you genuine gameplay beyond the cosmetics. This Black Chest Edition was Ubisoft swinging for the fences during the PS4's early days, when publishers were still trying to figure out how to make collectors feel like they were getting something extraordinary. They figured it out. Every item in this box ties back to the pirate fantasy, and together they create a package that's become one of the most sought-after PS4 collector's editions for good reason.
